Дефолтная замена для Knitting Mod от Zoe22.

Мод - балдёжный! Он всегда лежит в моей папке Mods, но оригинальный цвет (из TS4) клубков и пряжи мне не особо нравится. (Особенно, когда пытаешься отыграть постапокалиптическую или готическую династию).

Благодаря помощи товарища Майка я наконец-то научилась менять дефолтные расцветки - и первым делом сделала это в одном из своих любимых модов. Такие дела. Пользуйтесь! ❤

Важно! Вам необходимо заменить в оригинальной папке "zoeoe_knitting_v1.5" файл zoeoe_knitting_knittingBag и zoeoe_knitting_resources, иначе вы не увидите изменений.

[TSM] Slider Value Display

With DXVK and S3SS living their high days, older Sims 3 installment guides are rapidly starting to become outdated. So here's a brand new and up-to-date step-by-step guide to go through when you do a fresh install of your game that will help you get the best performance you could possibly imagine for this old and laggy gem of a game.

Have Sims 3 installed, but is it performing abhorrently? I highly recommend a fresh install. You don't have to delete your saves or mods. Just get yourself a fresh bin to work with by uninstalling, going into your program files The Sims 3 folder and deleting any remnant files still in there. Then follow my guide!

All of the steps to follow are below the line ->

This mod is a conversion of the fog emitter from The Sims 3 for The Sims Medieval.

The mod adds a VFX generator object to the game, primarily intended for testing visual effects.

In addition to its technical purpose, the fog generator can also be used to create atmospheric scenes and screenshots.

A separate list of visual effects available in The Sims Medieval is included and can be used with this object. Link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/mxz4njh4xbajcfo/TSM_effect_names.txt/file

An option to move the object up and down has also been added.

To use this mod, the Command Center by @mariacherry is required.

The object can be found in Build Mode, in the Color category.

When creating new objects or converting items from The Sims 3, you may encounter a problem: Sims can walk through these objects. This happens due to differences in the architecture of TSM and TS3.

In The Sims Medieval, object walkaround behavior is handled via a NavMesh, which is stored in a separate resource (Type: 0xC80A5A67). Unfortunately, at the moment, s3pe does not have a plugin for this type of resource, and there is no publicly available description of its structure (at least, I haven’t been able to find one). Therefore, directly unpacking or assembling such a file is not possible.

In this tutorial, we will use a small trick to make custom objects walkaround-friendly, so Sims will navigate around them without directly editing the NavMesh.

Requirements:

s3pe

For the example, I will use a chair from the wonderful “Happy Halloween!” set by @leebbi04

Step 1. Choosing a Donor for Your Custom Object

First, we need to find a donor object that is as similar as possible to our custom item in terms of:

functionality,

size,

the number of tiles it occupies.

This is important because later we will use the donor’s NavMesh for our custom object. If the donor is larger than the custom object, Sims simply won’t be able to approach it correctly or interact with it.

For this tutorial, I will use the following chair as the donor:

Step 2. Locating the Donor Resource in the Game Files

For this, we’ll use s3pe and open the corresponding game package file.

If the donor object is from the base game, open:

(your Sims Medieval installation folder)\The Sims Medieval\GameData\Shared\Packages\SASFullBuild1.package

If the donor is from the “Pirates & Nobles” expansion, open:

(your Sims Medieval installation folder)\The Sims Medieval\GameData\Shared\Packages\SASFullBuild_EP1.package

⚠️ Note: file paths and names may vary depending on your game version and installation method.

After opening the appropriate file in s3pe, set up the bottom filter panel:

In the ResourceType field, enter:

0xC80A5A67

Optionally, you can enter a value in the Name field — in my case, it’s chairLiving. This helps narrow down the list of resources and makes it faster to find the donor. If the correct resource name is unknown, you’ll need to browse the resources manually without using the Name filter.

Make sure to check the corresponding boxes next to the filter fields you are using.

Click Set.

Finally, activate the filter by checking Filter active.

As a result, we get a list of matching resources.

I’ll skip the process of determining exactly which resource belongs to the object. In our case, the appropriate resource turned out to be chairLivingTassle.

Now we need to remember or write down the following resource parameters:

Type

Group

Instance

For the selected resource, the values are as follows:

Type: 0xC80A5A67

Group: 0x00000000

Instance: 0x1AA517945D59D2CD

Step 3. Adding a Donor NavMesh Reference to the Custom Object

Open the package file of your custom object in s3pe and locate the resource with TAG: VPXY.

Next:

Right-click on the resource.

From the context menu, select Edit VPXY.

In the window that opens, click the TGI Blocks… button in the bottom-left corner.

In the new window, click the Add button. In the right-hand section of the window, enter the required values for the donor resource:

Type

Group

Instance

After entering the data, click Save to apply the changes and return to the previous window. In this window, click the Add Part button.

In the dropdown menu of the newly added empty object, select the donor resource (our NavMesh). Make sure that our custom object is the last item; if it isn’t, move it to the last position.

After selecting the donor resource, click Save to apply the changes. Once the previous steps are completed, a Commit Changes confirmation window will appear. Click Yes to apply the changes to the file.

After confirming the changes (Commit Changes), press Ctrl + S to save all modifications to the package file.

This concludes the tutorial, and you can now proceed to testing in the game. If the object was already placed, simply enter Build Mode, pick it up, and place it back in the same spot. This allows the game to reload the updated NavMesh, and Sims will navigate around the object correctly.

In-Game Test:

Important: The method described in this guide is experimental. I cannot guarantee that it will work correctly with all custom objects. Therefore, after making any changes, be sure to test everything thoroughly to ensure that Sims navigate around the object properly and without any unexpected issues 👀✨

ＴＷＩＮＢＲＯＯＫ

Продолжаю переделывать любимый город. В этот раз изменила на свой вкус, не меняя архитектуру, общественный сад! Меня всегда смущала пустая комната. Долго думала, что функционального разместить в таком маленьком помещении... В общем импровизированная кофейня (чайная?) со станцией консервации.

В самом саду добавила растения из других дополнений и стора. Что-то перекрасила, что-то заменила, что-то добавила. Казалось бы простая переделка, но почему-то заняла много времени :)

Без СС, но с Store контентом! Ссылка на участок ТУТ!

ＴＷＩＮＢＲＯＯＫ

Перестроила спортзал Твинбрука *почти* не меняя архитектуру. Опиралась на стиль, который увидела в роликах Simmermind, но делала на свой вкус. Если не брать во внимание коврики для йоги, переделка без СС, но с объектами из store. Выкладываю не только с целью поделиться, ещё с целью не потерять эту переделку. Первая версия была потерянна из-за, чего я очень расстроилась и расстроенно начала сначала...

Обновление: Поняла, что помимо мода на йогу в здании присутствует СС версия сторовской вешалки, поэтому прикрепляю файл с СС и модом ЗДЕСЬ, а без СС и без мода ТУТ!

(во второй версии коврики заменены на обычные, чисто для декорации, а СС версия сторовской вешалки,на обычную из store)

In this tutorial, we will go through the process of creating a custom skin for The Sims Medieval. Here, we’ll focus specifically on how to load the textures so that the skintone appears correctly in-game and the sliders work properly.

Required:

Skininator V5.0 — used to create and export skin packages.

Skintone Base Maps — a set of extracted base map textures provided for convenience (you can also extract them yourself).

Four texture files per gender:

Body Scalp Face Face with blemishes

Optional:

ScrollBarForSkintonePanel — a mod I created that adds a scrollbar to the skintone selection panel. It’s completely optional; you can still scroll using your mouse wheel if you prefer.

Notation

To make the tutorial easier to follow, we will use the following abbreviations:

am — adult male

af — adult female

blemish — the standard EA term for a texture with imperfections.

For males, this usually refers to stubble. For females, this usually refers to blush.

These notations will be used throughout the tutorial when referring to specific textures or skin elements.

Preparing Your Textures

For this tutorial, I’ve already prepared a set of textures to work with. They include all four necessary files for both genders: body, scalp, face, and face with blemishes. I simply tinted some of the standard skintones — for males, I used an aquamarine color, and for females, a purple shade.

It’s important to create textures for both genders, because skintones in The Sims Medieval are not separated by gender. If you make a custom skintone for only one gender, it will appear broken or incomplete on the other.

Tutorial

Now that we have our textures prepared and all necessary tools ready, it’s time to create a custom skin. First, make sure to extract Skintone Base Maps files you’ll be using. Having the files extracted in a convenient folder will make it easier to locate and import them into Skininator.

From here, we’ll go through the process of setting up your custom skin in Skininator — importing your prepared textures and saving the finished skin package. First, open Skininator and select type: advanced non-default.

Next, assign a name to your new skintone — for this tutorial, we’ll use Test Skintone

Then, switch to the TONE Setting tab and check the box next to Use Old Version Format.

Next, switch to the Tone Ramps tab. Here, you need to load two files: a DDS Tone Ramp and a PNG Tone Thumbnail.

You can either use the ones extracted from The Sims 3, which are included on the Skininator download page, or create your own. The DDS Tone Ramp should be a 64×64 pixel file, and the PNG Tone Thumbnail should also be 64×64 pixels.

The PNG thumbnail will appear as the icon representing your skintone in the skintone panel

Now, switch to the Adult tab. This is the most delicate part of the process, as it’s crucial to load the textures correctly.

For each slot, select the appropriate texture from your extracted archive or your own custom files. For clarity in the screenshots, I’ll refer to the folder where the archive was extracted as archive. To load a texture, click Import next to the Type field for the corresponding slot, then select the file .

Male Section:

For the Female section, the process is exactly the same.

Female Section:

After you’ve finished loading all the necessary textures, go to File and select Save As. Give your package a name — for this tutorial, you could use something like Test Skintone — and save it.

Next, move the saved package into your Mods folder. Once it’s in place, you can launch the game and test your custom skintone to see how it looks in action. If you used my ScrollBarForSkintonePanel mod, a scrollbar will appear when new skintones are added. And here’s the final result — my custom skintones with fully working sliders in-game

[TSM] [BETA] Unlock Sliders For Children

In the original game, all children have identical faces. This mod edits the FACE files (faceblends), making bones and morphs available for children, allowing most adult face sliders to be used. It doesn’t work perfectly, but it’s better than having no variation at all.

⚠️ Important:

Not all sliders work perfectly, but most do.

Since these are original adult sliders, they are inheritable, but sometimes they may look unusual on children. This happens rarely.

Children in village will mostly retain their default faces, as their appearance was never customized in the original game.

This mod is beta, so minor issues may occur.
